  1. GBBRs, then? Mags can't be too hard to mod, really...
  2. When you can have procedurally generated CGI muzzle flashes for any weapon and any angle for $60, you don't really need blank firers any more. Yeah, you can use still PNGs for free, sure, but when you need a nice animated "BRRRRRRT" from a minigun (or a MAC10 for that matter), with involved image dodging and *suitcase*, $60 is spare change. Hell, the company also showed stuff like setting an entire floor of a building on fire using procedural CGI, and it looked hella convincing.
  3. Which reminds me, I'll need to go through my "wacky" fonts folder and create a logo for the cereal that people like the Photobucket higher-ups should be force-fed: BAGGODIX.
  4. Good advice, cheap cameras don't like working with ISO set above 400. Entry-level DSLRs start stumbling between 800 and 1600, even if they can go up to 3200 nominally. And a bit of trivia, a buddy of mine is a cameraman and once took some beastly video camera (Sony it was, I think) for a spin. Managed to get a clear video in the middle of the night, with ISO in tens of thousands. 19200 or so. He later shot an indie movie with it, with a scene lit by a shitload of candles. Didn't need extra light for it.
  5. Huh. That's weird, the quality of your pictures suddenly tanked, and drastically. The ones from Duxford are terribly grainy, like the image sensor is straining, which I find weird as I remember that a Fuji P&S can make decent photos even in bad conditions.
  6. That's a lot out of a S1900. Although the Fuji S1000 series are pretty good point'n'clickers, I have a S1600 and used it for a long time (until I bought my new phone that finally takes photos you can see details in).
  7. Last month, I went to the local Comic Con and did some cosplay photos. http://seriously-mike.tumblr.com/post/161402537721/demon-hunters-models-world-of-bishcraft-and According to those two Demon Hunter cosplayers, I managed to take the best photos of them at the con.
  8. I'm on a roll again. And I'm not yet done. However, I need to stock up on lighting gear, because blasting away with a bare camera-mounted flash like uncle Richard at a family event looks like *suitcase*.
  9. You could have cranked up the shutter time a bit for the static pics, grain's most obvious on those weapon close-ups. Also, if you want to take dynamic photos, just work on Shutter Priority with auto ISO, on a f3.5 lens you should get enough serviceable material (unless the kit is very theoretically f3.5, my 17-50 kit narrows the aperture to 5.6 or thereabouts at the shortest focal length. Which explains why I want that Sigma.
  10. Or "wait, did we have a first one?" Yeah, we did. It went the way of The Manly Thread, but since I got around to putting up a fanpage for my photos (and other stuff, but mostly photos), I thought I'll post a couple of things. I use a Canon 1200D, with a 18-55 kit lens and a 50/f1.8 portrait lens when I'm feeling artistic (I'm trying to scrounge 300 quid for a 17-50/f2.8 Sigma zoom, for those times I can't walk back enough to keep everything in the shot). https://www.facebook.com/seriouslymikephoto/?ref=bookmarks I also post stuff on my Tumblr, between the guns, sci-fi artwork and
  11. "Dark Matter" loves their UARs. I saw at least three, one bone stock and two greebled up, but enough to make the gun recognizable underneath. And for Season 2, they built a very nice, if bulky and magazine-obscuring front for a P90. Also, I caught that KWC P226 with competition bits in "Person of Interest".
  12. Dude, you're late. If you check my gallery, the Fallout 3 AK is pretty much done (I could make a better stock in place of the Galil one, but I lack the tools ATM). Also, I bought that tommygun soon after, because someone came up with a "Film Noir" idea for a shoot.
  13. And that's exactly what I had on my mind when I saw the video today...
  14. http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100515173222/killzone/images/b/b1/StA3_LMG.jpg Modernize, you say?
  15. Gunfire uses a courier company too. Not sure which one they rely on for foreign orders, but they should have it stated on their website.
  16. They're okay, but overall they have less varied wares than Gunfire (another Polish shop). Their most important advantage is that they're the direct supplier of A&K guns (rebranded as P&J), and get those earlier than Gunfire.
  17. I sent out eight Ronin patches and nobody showed theirs off yet. I find that odd. I'll post mine when I get home, but I have to admit my collection is less than impressive.

      Wouldn't that create a huge step between the outer barrels?

      Not sure, I think that extension is an inch in diameter or so, but there's no concrete info about it anywhere.
